Post-Fire Effect of Savannah Vegetation on the Establishment of New Colonies ofAtta sexdens rubropilosa(Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

“…In our study, 67 d after direct fire action, the amount of CO 2 released in the soil (value accumulated during 10 d) did not differ significantly between B and NB areas at the 2 depths studied. In the present work, the microorganism community in the soil was not identified, but it probably interfered with the new colony setting of A. sexdens rubropilosa (Rodrigues 2007). Up to the date when we observed no survival of the initial colonies (120 d after nuptial flight) in the field, the microorganism community was most likely influenced by climate fluctuation such as temperature and rainfall.…”

Fungal communities in the garden chamber soils of leaf‐cutting ants

“…The fact that fungus chamber soils did not present higher CFU counts of filamentous fungi in comparison to non‐nest soils (Table ) might indicate that fungal populations in the soil associated with fungus garden chambers are suppressed by the ants or by their microbial associates. This may represent a tentative of controlling opportunistic antagonists, such as F. oxysporum , Fusarium solani , Trichoderma harzianum (Table ), or Syncephalastrum racemosum that may harm the ant cultivar .…”
